βΎοΈDear KYB Families & Supporters,
Before we gather tonight for our Field of Dreams Kickoff Event, we have some incredibly exciting news to share!
The first major news is we are thrilled to announce that SCHEELS and five Kindred-area families who work there have made a $312,500 commitment to the KYB Field of Dreams project!
Because of the SCHEELS transformational gift:
β’ The first diamond built this summer will be named SCHEELS Field.
β’ SCHEELS will also be sponsoring the scoreboards and foul poles on two of the three fields once Phase 2 is completed.
β’ We now sit just $700k from our fundraising goal to complete the $2.2M Phase 1 project!
This is more than a corporate donation. It is a powerful statement of belief in our kids, our program, and our growing communities.
We also want to recognize the local families who work at SCHEELS and championed this project internally. Their advocacy and direct personal contributions helped make this milestone gift possible, and for that we are eternally grateful.
SCHEELS just raised the bar. Now we have an opportunity as a community to respond.
Imagine what would happen if other organizations, local businesses, and families came together in collective giving to match this impact. One gift can spark momentum. Many gifts together can finish the mission!
The second big announcement is that as of later this afternoon, KYB officially owns the 9-acre site where these diamonds will be built!
Tonight, we officially launch the phase 1 kickoff for the KYB Field of Dreams Complex. We invite you to join us and celebrate these significant milestones and learn how we are building something that will serve our youth for generations.
Event Details
When: TONIGHT from 5:00 β 8:30 PM

The momentum is real. The vision is clear. The opportunity is there. Letβs build this together.
We hope to see you tonight!
Gratefully,
The Kindred Youth Baseball Board
